LETTER FROM LOYAL VOTER"
he Differs With ssThe DemOcrat,r
But Is willing to be Convinced.


ED. DEMOCRAT: Although don't like
your politics, like your paper. 1 like
it firstly because of its straightforward,
pronounced and consistent course in op-
position to the polygamous and political
practices of the Mormon Church. like
it because of its independendence, pluck
and enterprise. likei because it sails
under its true colors as a Democratic
paper, and doesn'tfy a neutral flag while
firing hot shot into the hull of the Repub-
lican ship, in which [ am proud to
sail. like it because, while it
is never backward in taking its
stand upon any local question
and is always ready with suggestions
and advice, it never presumes to dictate
what other people shall do. l wish l
could say that like it on account of the
wisdom of its counsel to its Gentle
readers in the matter of policy concern
ing the cause to be pursued in the COM
ing election contest with the hosts OF the
Mormon Church. have carefully read
what you have written upon the subject,
and while admit that there is great
deal of force and doubtless considerable
truth in your argument, l still entertain
serious misgivings as to the
practical working of your policy in
the matter of organization. If l
understand you correctly, you propose
that the two political parties in the diff
ferent counties shall meet in Conven-
tons, and through Committees of Con-
ference, or some such bodies, agree as to
the portions of the tickets to be nominated
by the Conventions of each party. You
then propose that these portions of tick
cts shall be united and run as fusion
tickets of the two parties. Now, admit
ting that this plan would work in the
formation of County tickets, would ask
you, what are you going to do about the
nomination of Delegate to Congress, the
most important officer to be elected :?
There is but one to be chosen and
it strikes me that right there will be a
political deadlock. Who is to say
whether he shall be a Republican or
Democrat? It appears to me that the
nomination of that officer, at least, can
not be made in accordance with your
method. Then as to the county tickets.
Would it not be better to nominate them
after the old plan, taking care in all
cases that the two parties should be
fairly represented? l agree with The
DEMOCRAT that this should be done, and
further believe that your agitation of
the matter will have the effect
to bring about this result If
it can be done in this way, will it not
allay all partisan feeling and insure
greater harmony than by making the
selections through the medium of strictly
party conventions? l ask these ques-
tons in good faith, for believe with you
that the proper policy is the one which
will secure the most votes against the
Mormon Church. l am, moreover, will
ing to be convinced that your plan is the
best one, if sufficient reasons are ad-
vanced, but with the light at present
before me must respectfully beg leave
to differ with you. LOYAL VOTER.

DOUGLASS DEATH.
he Jury Decides That ApOpIexy
Was the CauSe

hS DSSAOCS y
Was the CaRSe.
The wife and son of the late w. A.
Douglass, together with DR.. Galloway,
arrived here last night from Leadville,
and registered at the Walker House.
After superficial examination made
by Drs. Benedict, Richards and Gallo
way, it was decided that the deceased
died from apoplexy, brought on by liquor
and the weakening effects of the water.
One Juror, Mr.. King, was anxious
to have an autopsy, but he was finally
induced to give way. The jury brought
in verdict that W. A. Douglass came to
his death at Beck's Hot Springs, in Salt
Lake county, at about 10 p. m, April Sd,
1887, from the effects of natural causes.
The jurors were Jeter Clinton. Augustus
King and w. j. Newman.
Mrs. Douglass was much shaken with
the sight of her husbands remains. She
stayed by the side of the corpse for
nearly three hours. She remarked that
it had been just five weeks ago to-day
since she saw him, the picture of health.
The body was then embalmed, placed in
a handsome metallic casket and shipped
to Denver. Mrs. Douglas and party re-
turn this morning by the Z. P.

George GATES, the noted chicken muz-
zler, who rests in the jug to await the
action of the Grand Jury, recently re-
ceiyed letter from his girl dated April
9th, and is heart-broken with grief.
The letter, which was from the 58-year-
old daughter Oh Porter Rockwell, said
that through her intense love for him
Notwithstanding the chicken rack
ETY. she was pining away, and that
the prolonged separation had fin

that would startle the blood of future

25-year-old George was broken all
up. All night he paced the floor
of his lonely cell, and was heard
to mutter in chilling accents, parallels
similar to these. ''Will she do it?'
"Will she tnrn this loving heart to
stone?" "What will become of me?"
"Will my feet be turned from the paths
OF righteousness? ?" mo, no, it cannot
be-" Etc, ETC.
Yesterday another letter came to
George from his darling. She had post
poned the tragedy until she had some
tintypes taken, one OF which was inclosed.
George, according to her last directions,
is looking for the daily papers which, she
says, will contain some startling facts.
George will be pleased to know that
his darling still lives, and that if he
misses the PEN, he can once more fold
her to his loving breast.

The Negro Is Making Progress,

There is trouble in the Seventh
South Carolina Congressional district.
Smalls, (col,) is accused of having OBJ
tained his seat by "bribes, bluster and
bulldozing,"
Well, the tinted brother has an eve
for observation, and his initiative fac
uIty is largely developed. Some peo-
pile have always declared that he is
behind the white man in intelligence
and resources, but it must be admit
ted that there are cases in which he
makes a good showing.
Yes, he is absorbing the spirit of the
age. When he wants anything he
takes it. The fact that it does not be-
long to him disturbs his conscience No
more than it does that of his pale
laced neighbor. He is making progress
rapidly. Y. Herald.

ty Insane Asylum have been arrested
under indictments for fraud and en-
bezElement found by the Cook county
grand jury and held to bail in large
sums. 1t is claimed that good many
more indictments have been found
and Tat additional arrests will follow
unless the indicted parties put the Can,
ada line between themselves and the
threatened danger. The outside pub.
lie will watch with no little interest
to see whether the Cook county courts
will agree with Carter Harrison that

Government is the best that has yet
been discovered in this country.

then say THANK you," the chances
are that she would throw the whole

the bottom out of an almost unfath-
Omable sentiment. A man who would
receive young woman's hand with
the same expression with which he
would acknowledge a butter dish or

not appreciate the real value of a wo-
